Well, I have to admit that if I do a bunch of favors for a friend I sort of expect that when I need a favor back he'll be there.

And yes, it would make me unhappy if he said nuts, I have no obligations at all to you, you did those things as favors and that's the end of it.

(Of course it's different if he's unable to return the favor, is disabled or whatever. But assume it's something equivalent and he can perfectly easily do it.)

So maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointments. But so far, I guess I've done an okay job choosing who to do favors for, because I haven't had to feel that ever.
